Sustainability is central to Clariant’s purpose, ‘Greater chemistry – between people and planet.’ As a specialty chemical partner to our customers and their industries, our commitment to sustainability is at the core of our business. By transforming product portfolio and operations, we uniquely contribute to solving global challenges.
Through decades of R&D, we deliver innovative solutions across our six sustainability priorities, which consider environmental, safety, and social aspects. Our holistic approach not only creates the needed transparency to continuously steer our portfolio but also helps our customers make informed decisions to shift towards more sustainable alternatives.
We are dedicated to transforming our operations and value chains, which includes working towards sustainability and ESG objectives. We were one of the first specialty chemical companies to set emission reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement. Validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), we are aiming to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.9% and cut emissions in Scope 3 by 27.5% by 2030 (compared to 2019).
